Summary: I love Rush, but was this really necessary?
Comment: 1) Was it really necessary to release yet another live album? Nope.
2) Can the guys still play their instruments and pull off a semi-decent show even though they must be pushing 60? Yes, though barely - energy levels are clearly different.
3)Can Geddy still deliver the goods? Sadly no - and here for me, is the clincher.
I've been a Rush fan for 30+ years and own EVERYTHING they've ever released. For the sake of completeness, I bought this CD but I have to say that the listening experience is rendered painful when listening to Geddy trying to hit the notes.
I was playing it in my car when a friend, hearing Rush for the first time, remarked "the music's OK but the singer sounds so affected, like he's really struggling''. It breaks my heart to say this, but she was right.

Summary: as good as it gets live band show
Comment: Awesome sound, great music selection. Great product as expected from one of the best progressive rock bands ever.

Summary: Great Album...From A Great Band!
Comment: Everything that needs to be said about this album has. My only complaint isn't about this live album..but mainly all the live albums together. RUSH has always been kind enough to release their live performances in wonderful packages. But when you compare RUSH IN RIO, R30, and now SNAKES & ARROWS LIVE it's almost like sitting through three different nights on the same tour. Not that this is a bad thing...but you can almost interchange these releases. S&N LIVE is the best one to be released in the past few years. Due to the fact that several great songs from the S&N album are performed here live with their countless other hits.
If you have to pick one live album by RUSH to get...let it be this one.

Summary: Crisp
Comment: This is by far the best Rush live album. The only complaint I have is the emphasis on S&A songs which are good but tend to drag on a bit. Passage to Bangkok, Mission and Digital Man sound as good as the studio versions. I went to this concert in Albuquerque and rank this in my top 3 concerts I ever been too. This is a must for serious Rush fans and fans of live music. Peace..........

Summary: New Rush Live
Comment: Another pretty good Rush live album. Perhaps it isn't better than Rio or rush 30 but stills good. Passage to Bangkok, Circumstances and Mission are the surprises. The new material is good alive.

On the heels of their hugely successful 2007 ampitheater tour, Rush is now giving all their fans the chance to aurally experience the concert for themselves with the double album, Snakes & Arrows Live. The live set features perennial favorites like "Tom Sawyer," "The Spirit of Radio," and "YYZ" as well as new fare "Far Cry," "Spindrift," and "The Larger Bowl." Also included is the live rendition of the 2008 Grammy-nominated "Malignant Narcissism" followed by a Rush live staple, a Neil Peart drum solo. Snakes & Arrows Live is sure to follow in the footsteps of their successful live album Rush in Rio. The Canadian trio has sold over 35 million albums world-wide in their career spanning four decades.
